It’s not just yet another day of triumph for Jannik Sinner: today Italian tennis can rejoice twice. Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori went up to the roof of Buenos Aires and won the final against the Spaniard Marcel Granollers and the Argentine Horacio Zeballos, who were the number 1 seed in the tournament (this is one of the best couples on the circuit). Another splendid performance by Bolelli and Vavassori, who win 6-2 7-6 (6) in an hour and 40 minutes, giving continuity to the wonderful result achieved at the Australian Open (defeat in the final against Bopanna and Ebden).

The couple born almost by chance, when last summer the physical problems of Fognini (Bolelli’s historic partner) forced Simone to choose a new partner, is now at an amazing level. The two play very well and are very good friends off the pitch. The approach, in this final, is perfect. After canceling a break point in the first round of serve, the Italian pair broke the serve and managed the advantage until the decisive stretch, with another break at 0 in the seventh game. The first set ends 6-2, but in the second set you have to work a little more, with Granollers/Zeballos being carried away by the crowd. We only play on serve and we slide towards the tie-break, where the Azzurri play with courage and determination. Ahead 6-3 they stumbled on 3 match points, but they had the strength to react and took Buenos Aires on the fourth occasion. Another great sign for a duo destined for the top 10, with Vavassori coming out of this tournament galvanized, after also playing very well in the singles (he was eliminated by Alcaraz).
